Wish List

Wish List

Second Step Housing residents and clients are working hard to establish housing and financial stability for themselves and their families. In-kind donations can provide critical help to families by helping them meet some of their basic needs as they work towards securing permanent housing and achieving self-sufficiency.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept used items such as stuffed animals, toys, car seats, clothes, bedding or large furniture items such as cribs or changing tables. Please contact us 360-993-5301 or use the contact form below if you have any questions about whether an item would be acceptable.

Welcome Home Baskets

Welcome Home baskets are provided to new families when they move in to one our transitional housing properties. Often, the families entering our housing have little possessions and limited or no income. The Welcome Home baskets, which contain household items, toiletries, new linens and towels, help ease the transition from homelessness to home for families. Check our list of suggested items for the Welcome Home basket.

Yards and Gardens

We will gladly accept new or gently used yard and gardening tools. Below is a list of items and tools we can use year round to help us maintain the yards and gardens of our transitional housing properties.

Donations are accepted Monday – Friday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Items may be dropped off at 2500 Main Street, Suite 120, Vancouver, WA 98660. Please indicate that donations are for Second Step Housing. You can also call 360-993-5301 to make other arrangements.

About us

Second Step Housing began in 1995 because a group of concerned community members saw a need for safe, affordable housing for homeless women and children; short-term shelters did not give women enough time to adequately address problems and overcome barriers.
